Hi..

I'm having an issue with creating a system graph in Xymon.

The script outputs the following on the page:


      Fri May 7 16:42:19 SAST 2010

edge01 : 5
edge02 : 7
edge03 : 2
edge04 : 6


hobbitgraph ncv:fmsconns	 	  Zoom graph 


Its a script to monitor concurrent connections so its value goes up and down.

In hobbitserver.cfg, i have the following:

TEST2RRD="cpu=la,cpu2=la[......],fmsconns=ncv"
GRAPHS="la,disk[...........],fmsconns"
NCV_fmsconns="edge01:GAUGE,edge02:GAUGE"


in hobbitgraph.cfg

The examples you pasted in look completely correct to me.  However, just to
be fully with you, I'd like to ask (just to be thorough, not a jerk)
regarding the term "The script outputs the following on the page:"

Just to cross all the t's and dot all the i's:

1.  you have a script running on a client, launched from clientlaunch.cfg
and gathering data remotely.
2.  It is being sent back to the server and properly making it to the page,
showing up in it's own column.
3.  The script is also sending/setting all appropriate BB environment
variables:

(and example from one of my scripts)

# Xymon Variables
$ENV{BBPROG}    = "library.pl";
my($TESTNAME)   = "library";
my($BBHOME)     = $ENV{BBHOME};
my($BB)         = $ENV{BB};
my($BBDISP)     = $ENV{BBDISP};
my($BBVAR)      = $ENV{BBVAR};


4.   You are also sending all approprate red/green/yellow/clear, etc.
messages along back to the server

Note that this may not affect your display, but is just good "gathering"
practice in pulling data back from remote hosts.  Even if you're only
setting a "clear", it is good to do.

Unless I'm just missing something in the paste-in you're showing, I'm not
seeing any overt problems.  How about the logs?  Anything there? Like maybe
permissioning problems or some such?

/var/log/xymon/rrd-status.log
/var/log/rrd-data.log


(or wherever your installation's logs are) ?

Notice the name of the data field in your rrd file:

jhbedge02optinetnet

It does not match the edge02 in your other definitions.   Not sure why
its assigning that name, but that looks to me to be the problem.

Hi Jerald,

1) Correct
2) Correct:


      Mon May 10 08:14:11 SAST 2010

edge01 : 2
edge02 : 2


Client data available
hobbitgraph ncv:fmsconns		

3) correct.
4) Correct:

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOUR `date`
$STATUS"

I've checked the rrd logs, unfortunately there's no mention of any issues
at all so i'm kinda stuck.

Thanks,
Cami

The examples you pasted in look completely correct to me.  However, just to be fully with you, I'd like to ask (just to be thorough, not a jerk) regarding the term "The script outputs the following on the page:"

Just to cross all the t's and dot all the i's: 
1.  you have a script running on a client, launched from clientlaunch.cfg and gathering data remotely. 2.  It is being sent back to the server and properly making it to the page, showing up in it's own column.
3.  The script is also sending/setting all appropriate BB environment variables:

(and example from one of my scripts)

# Xymon Variables


$ENV{BBPROG}    = "library.pl <http://library.pl>";;

▸ quoted from Cami

my($TESTNAME)   = "library";
my($BBHOME)     = $ENV{BBHOME};
my($BB)         = $ENV{BB};
my($BBDISP)     = $ENV{BBDISP};
my($BBVAR)      = $ENV{BBVAR};


4.   You are also sending all approprate red/green/yellow/clear, etc. messages along back to the server

Note that this may not affect your display, but is just good "gathering" practice in pulling data back from remote hosts.  Even if you're only setting a "clear", it is good to do.

Unless I'm just missing something in the paste-in you're showing, I'm not seeing any overt problems.  How about the logs?  Anything there? Like maybe permissioning problems or some such?

/var/log/xymon/rrd-status.log
/var/log/rrd-data.log

Hi Jerald,

Client data available
hobbitgraph ncv:fmsconns

3) correct.
4) Correct:

$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOUR `date`

I've checked the rrd logs, unfortunately there's no mention of any
issues
at all so i'm kinda stuck.

Thanks,

Hi,

Just a few detail, I remember I had to add a new line at the end of custom
scripts to get graphs working, like this :
$BB $BBDISP "status $MACHINE.$TEST $COLOUR `date`
$STATUS
"

May be this is not mandatory anymore, but you should add this.

Regards,
Damien

Thanks for the tip/idea however it didn't land up displaying any graphs. 
Not sure
why a newline would land up causing the graphs to display though.

Total non-sequitur, and I'm not near my installation at the moment...

Does the British/European spelling of "COLOR" work?  Or, is this your own variable from elsewhere in your script?

As with the new line at the end, I have also found this to be case, but I
have also found that if you add a space before the item : value pair, that
is sometimes necessary ... not sure why. Example (see, there is a space
before each " item : value" pair:

I have also found that there must be a space between colon delimited
items on a page or custom graphing does not function properly.

Your DEF points to a DS of "util", but you apparently have DSs of
"edge01" and "edge02", so you'll need another DEF, another LINE#, and
(optionally) more GPRINTs. That's assuming you want two on one graph.

Will every host that has "fmsconns" have a status with exactly two
edge* values? Or with exactly four edge* values? I find that unlikely,
given the two digit numbering, and (also to some extent) the
discrepancy between the status message and the NCV_fmsconns line. If
the count of values can differ (e.g. you might eventually have a host
with 1 or 3 or 5 or 6 values) then SPLITNCV might be the way to go,
but that has its own complications (e.g. multigraphs). Changing the
number of DSs in an RRD is not easy.
